California Senate Votes 38-0 to Finally Close Child Marriage Loophole

"Everybody" was Christan at the time in the same way that everyone in the past was heterosexual.

Since the cult punished people (either violently, or socially) in societies it had conquered, there's no way of knowing how many people where "believers", or just went along out of fear.

My home country was under oppression from the Christian sect for about a thousand years, and guess what? As soon as it was legal and not punished by society, pretty much everyone turned their back on it, to live normal lives. The only people who actually join the cult are either born into broken cultist families, or struggle with addiction to the point where giving up control of their life seem like the only solution.

Exposing children to religion is abuse and nothing else.

Some 10,000 people rallied in Stockholm on Sunday to demand stronger action on climate change, weeks before Sweden’s general election.

Judging by their actions lately it seems our right-wing government realises they're unlikely to win this election. They've been on a spending spree this year with money that will have to be paid after the election is over, so that they, as usual, can start complaining about the economy as soon as they're in opposition.

The damage right-wing parties has done to Sweden and the EU is immeasurable. They're the reason Russia is making moves into Europe again, and the reason we're less prepared for it than we were 30 years ago.

The claims of the left in Sweden being "radical" is tiering when the right now consists of a bunch of naïve anarcho-capitalists, insane christian cultists, and literal nazis.

Sweden passes 'good behaviour' law to kick out misbehaving immigrants

It's basically just a law to allow companies hiring cheap immigrant labour to threaten them with deportation if they get any ideas about fair compensation.

Let's not forget that it was a right wing government who opened the gates for unregulated immigration by essentially scrapping all rules regarding it and telling us to "open our hearts".

This is a neo-liberal government supported by neo-nazis.
